SAMURAI SAMURAI are an advancement of the ELASTIC product line. Characteristic for this type of bellows are their lamellas.

Lamellas The position of each lamella can be individually chosen. The lamellas can be fixed to the front of the bellows, each side, or in any combination.

1 SAMURAI SAMURAI are an advancement of the ELASTIC product line. Characteristic for this type of bellows are their lamellas. The lamellas are fixed at the upper edge of the bellows, which also reinforces them. They provide excellent protection against fast, very hot and sharp chips. Lamellas The position of each lamella can be individually chosen. The lamellas can be fixed to the front of the bellows, each side, or in any combination. In addition, our in house production of lamellas means we can provide them in nearly all forms, such as inclined or roof types. Stainless steel is used for the material. 19 Excellent closing and sealing on the top side Usually the basic lamella type is flat with its end formed into a wiper profile, for excellent contact and sealing on the top side of the SAMURAI Bellow. SAMURAI Bellow SAMURAI are ideal for HSC applications. Solutions for machining centres with speeds greater than 100 m/min and accelerations greater than 2 g have been successful realized. Type of heavy swarf /Y Z less bellow impact axis axis space ELASTIC FASTAF FASTAM FASTAC Vector C 2 FASTLAP There is a high contact pressure across the whole lamella area. With their efficient wiper edge the lamellas prevent debris from entering the interior. Design Similar the ELASTIC range of products, all materials, shapes, processing methods, and measurements for the SAMURAI can be combined in any variation. Also a PVC frame is built into each fold of this bellow for assured stability. Example SAMURAI type Vector C²; a ready to install solution including interlocking system for loading through the roof. Combination with optional mechatronics system»covershutter«possible.

SAMURAI are available in three basic types.

2 SAMURAI SAMURAI F 20 Y Application of lamella bellows When in use the lamellas develop a regular formation of stripes on their surfaces. This is normal and caused by their edges and has no effect on their functionality or service life. The lamellas are corrosion and acid proof, but not accessible. SAMURAI are available in three basic types. These main types are based on how the lamellas are fixed: FASTAF - fixed lamellas FASTAC - fixed telescopic lamellas FASTAM - flexible lamellas FASTAF Vector C 2 - special type for multi axis protection Drawing of FASTAF/FASTAC Legend Width of fold Compression per fold 2 Compression per two folds F Extension per fold 2F One sheet of lamella protects two folds FHub Stroke per fold Maximum extension Minimum compression Horizontal space required for the lamellas Y Vertical space required for the lamellas SAMURAI FASTAM Please note: If the guiding runs between bellow and lamellas, the given dimensions for Y (vertical space) will be reduced by 15 mm. F Y FASTAF/FASTAC 2F 2 Y FASTAF 2-folds (one sheet of lamella protects two folds) Order and request forms available at:

SAMURAI FASTAF FASTAF types are SAMURAI with fixed lamellas. Owing to this design the lamellas overlap. The lamellas are hinged or clipped. When damaged they can be replaced.

The lamellas cover the front and also the side parts of the bellows, forming an enclosed surface.

SAMURAI FASTAM, flexible fixed lamellas F SAMURAI FASTAF, demonstration of»overlapping«fastac FASTAC types are SAMURAI with fixed telescopic lamellas (boxes).

SAMURAI SAMURAI VECTOR C² type The FASTAF type VECTOR C² is a special type for machining centres where continuous covering of the working space (e.g. rear wall, upper roof area) is required.

The space allocated to the covering can be used very efficiently, and machining dust is significantly reduced.

SAMURAI Vector C², combination of interior and exterior angle The lamellas for this type of SAMURAI are available in four shapes: Outside Inside Inside round Inside Outside SAMURAI FASTAF TW for

This lamella cover»bends around the corner«and is therefore perfectly suited to machines with limited space below the cover.

4 SAMURAI SAMURAI VECTOR C² type The FASTAF type VECTOR C² is a special type for machining centres where continuous covering of the working space (e.g. rear wall, upper roof area) is required. 22 SAMURAI Vector C², interior angle With its unique design of fixed mounted lamellas only one bellow unit is needed to cover the corner areas. The space allocated to the covering can be used very efficiently, and machining dust is significantly reduced. For swarf protection the VECTOR C² type is equipped with two overlapping, bended metal sheets mounted securely on each fold. SAMURAI Vector C², combination of interior and exterior angle The lamellas for this type of SAMURAI are available in four shapes: Outside Inside Inside round Inside Outside SAMURAI FASTAF TW for limited space The SAMURAI FASTAF TW has been developed as an alternative to the classic design of protective covers. This lamella cover»bends around the corner«and is therefore perfectly suited to machines with limited space below the cover. The compressed cover is turned through 90 allowing more design opportunities. The preload of the lamella s in the area of the radius is maintained through innovative design. Viewing SAMURAI Vector C², exterior angle The VECTOR C² corner lamella is available as a bended or rounded version providing both a stable structure and reliable functionality. Even at high operating speeds and accelerations this stable and reliable concept responds flexibly to all interior and exterior angles and combinations of angles.

SAMURAI SAMURAI Lamella Aprons SAMURAI FASTLAP lamella aprons are a variation of the SAMURAI bellows. They were designed for Z axis covers in machining centres.

5 mm thickness up to a maximum width of 4,000 mm, and mounting is simple. The compression per fold is about 4 mm.

6 SAMURAI SAMURAI Lamella Aprons SAMURAI FASTLAP lamella aprons are a variation of the SAMURAI bellows. They were designed for Z axis covers in machining centres. The substructure does not consist of ELASTIC bellows but only a carrier material to which the lamellas are fixed. FASTLAP The lamellas are made of stainless steel of 0.5 mm thickness up to a maximum width of 4,000 mm, and mounting is simple. The compression per fold is about 4 mm. The lamella apron requires a guide on both sides that must allow for a side length of 25 mm. The lamella apron is secured to a tear-proof Nylon-PU material selected specifically for each application. 24 SAMURAI lamella apron SAMURAI Lamella apron Installation space Hub/Stroke Guiding (provided by customer) material thickness up to 5 mm maximum Nylon-PU Stainless steel lamella interfering edges (spindle, etc) FASTLAP Lamella apron FASTLAP Lamella apron Order and request forms available at:
